The question is in my book and when I tried to make it in python, the program is showing error.

What I have tried:

So this is the code I've made:
<pre lang="Python">

a=input("Enter the line: ")
W=''
s=a.split()
for i in s:
    q=len(i)
    for b in range(q-1,-1,-1):
        w=w+b+' '
print(w)

Why is it every noob thinks the error message is not important to solving the problem?

Look at your code:
Python
<pre lang="Python">

a=input("Enter the line: ")
W=''                    # the variable is named W with a capital letter
s=a.split()
for i in s:
    q=len(i)
    for b in range(q-1,-1,-1):
        w=w+b+' '       # here you try to use a variable named w with a lower case letter
print(w)

The take home lesson is to use meaningful variable names, so mis-spellings are easier to spot.

You can now figure out what is wrong in your actual loop process.

To add to what Richard has - rightly - said, you should expect to get syntax errors every day, probably many times a day while you are coding - we all do regardless of how much experience we have! Sometimes, we misspell a variable, or a keyword; sometimes we forget to close a string or a code block. Sometimes the cat walks over your keyboard and types something really weird. Sometimes we just forget how many parameters a method call needs.

We all make mistakes.

And because we all do it, we all have to fix syntax errors - and it's a lot quicker to learn how and fix them yourself than to wait for someone else to fix them for you! So invest a little time in learning how to read error messages, and how to interpret your code as written in the light of what the compiler is telling you is wrong - it really is trying to be helpful!

So read this: How to Write Code to Solve a Problem, A Beginner's Guide Part 2: Syntax Errors[^] - it should help you next time you get a compilation error!
